After years of waiting, the footpath from Fox Hollies Road through to the leisure centre should reopen on the 1 May. There is a bit of cleaning up to do first, but things are well on track to see this brought back into use, allowing easy access to the leisure centre from the busy bus routes and meeting a demand from local residents.
We had a couple of options to sort this. One was to reopen the old path closed when the school raised security concerns, but this required some work to deal with problems of subsidence and would also have left us open to dealing with further potential costs further down the line. The solution we have came to a very similar cost, but without the ongoing risk. It has been paid for through the Community Chest money available to Acocks Green Ward Committee.

I think quite a lot of members of the local community will find this improvement very welcome: especially those who live a little further away in either the North side of Acocks Green, or just over the border in Hall Green. In both cases the Fox Hollies Road is often the best point of access. It is very convenient for the Outer Circle bus, which the Shirley Road entrance is not.
